Default Finally ran my car

I finally got my car out to mooresville last night. I was pretty happy with the results. I have only been to the track once in the last 2 years so I was a little rusty but I got my first 6 sec passes in. Hopefully I can post up the video soon or maybe black z93 will post his up as well.

Cool, I want to watch it. Nice times Brandon. Killer mph too. I bet it is fun on the street. What tranny is in it? I don't remember. Anyway sounds like a fun and bad car.

6.7 at 107 is a potentially low to mid 10 second car seeing as it could easily go mid 6's... what are u running on it? if the motor would handle it would seem like u could push this car into the 9's eventually with out to much more trouble if u were babying it like u said? congrats

I have no doubt in my mind that the car could eventually go into the 9's in the 1/4. It just needs a little more suspension work and alot more seat time from me and it would be there. I am only running 10 PSI on the current setup.

Sucks marshall, I'll try and get mine up tonight
